Trying to decide how to paint the Dually! Help!
 

Ok, so the topic is not quite as frantic as the titles sounds, but I'm having a hard time deciding which way to go on the 67 C-30. I had some guys on the Photshop board (especially Thumpin455 and Spray Bomb - thanks again guys!) help me out with it, and I did some manipulating myself. I'm leaning towards black, which is the way I've always envisioned it, but I have also been tossing the idea of green and white also. I have toyed around with lowering it, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to do it, and I know for sure bags are out of the question (and budget!). I do plan on leveling it out though, by dropping the rear level with the front. I'm strugging with going with chrome grill trim, bumpers and cfrome accents on the wheels, or going a look that could have been what the truck would have looked like if GM actually built it - White rims, bumpers, grill trim, etc. I'm going to throw some pics at ya, and tell me what ya'll like!



The 1st pic is how it sits now, in real life.
The 2nd is black with the trim rings and caps that are on it now. This configuration would have chrome bumpers, mirrors, grill trim, etc.
The 3rd is black/white with the stock 17.5" rims and white trim.
The 4th is green/white with the stock 17.5" rims and white trim.
The 5th is satin balck and lowered. This is the least likely of the ways I'll go, but I gotta admit that it looks pretty tough.

I say go black with the chrome. Maybe the white roof to set it off a bit.

I really like the Green/white myself.

Go with the Black & White & then Use white Trim like on My 67 to Finish it Off...........

If you go black I`d say use the chrome,including wheels.I`d want it to look "as factory" if it was mine,including color.The wheels would look good in aluminum,though.

Part of me wants to go with factory look, except the factory color. It came baby blue, and I just don't want to paint a dually baby blue!! If I go green, it will be dark olive. At the moment wheels are out of the equation also. Its going to be either painted white, the trims rings and centers, or simulators. I am working on getting the engine in this truck and get it painted, because I am planning on painting my '69 C-10 in the spring. The fact that I bought the '69 has taken a little focus (and budget) away from the C-30, but it will still turn out nice, and I can always come back with wheels later.

THAT is badass right there...

Re: Trying to decide how to paint the Dually! Help!
 

None of the above? :D

Medium Blue/white combo :D

If I had to pick: Green/white.

I'm diggin' the satin blk w/gloss blk wheels.

Re: Trying to decide how to paint the Dually! Help!
 

My 2cents----green with the factory 2 tone white down the middle.:hm:

Re: Trying to decide how to paint the Dually! Help!
 

Green with chrome and matching green wheels would look awesome. I'm a little partial to green myself, and GM has an awesome dark green on their fullsize pickups (Mine is meadow green metallic PPG 5501).
